Bush to nominate Okun to deputy U.S. trade representative
President Bush will nominate Deanna Tanner Okun to serve as deputy U.S. trade representative.
Okun will replace Karan K. Bhatia, who left the post in October to return to the private sector.
Okun has served as a commissioner of the U.S. International Trade Commission for the past eight years. Before that, she was counsel for international affairs to Sen. Frank Murkowski.
U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab praised the nomination. “We have a great deal to accomplish in 2008, so I hope the Senate will move quickly on her nomination,” Schwab said in a statement.
